AUGUST 23, 2024 ON MY CORNER ASK YOUR VENDOR What's your favorite outdoor activity?

It's been awhile since I've done that ...

A new day is arising and it’s sending chills down through my body. It can’t be stopped, no way! I look around me and I know you feel it too. I walk the streets every day. I see it in your faces just like you see it in mine. Is it a glimmer of hope I see? Well, I hope you see it in me. I want a world where putting people down is not so funny. A new day is coming and I want to be part of it. The message is clear: reject the hate, stop blaming each other, let's just fix this mess. I have ideas, I hope you do too. Let's figure out what to do, yes me and you. Aren’t you tired of listening to the self-serving? Yes, you and I, that’s right, us, what a novel idea — we can actually think for ourselves! We know what’s wrong, we don’t need someone to tell us. We need someone who knows how to fix it. The answers are all around us if we just listen to each other. A new day is coming, I tell you louder. Are the birds singing a little? I hope so! I hope it’s not just me because that WAYNE S. Groundcover vendor No. 615 means they feel it too. We need all the help we can get! There’s something going on. I can feel my ancestors looking down, and I’m trying to interpret their meaning. So far all I’m getting from them is to stop listening to clowns. It’s all about timing, they tell me. Do yours tell you the same thing? Don’t you think we should be listening? The time is now! Opportunities are opening! Let’s walk through them, I say. And not look back. Let’s not be afraid of the future and reject those who think we can’t ourselves. Either we resolve our differences and walk hand in hand and meet the think for future together: man woman and child, black-skinned white-skinned, brown and yellow-skinned too. Let’s take the word hate out of the English language. Let’s just have one race, the human race. Haven’t we had enough! What has the blame gotten us? What has picking sides gotten us? It’s the 21st century, folks, wow I never thought I’d make it but here I am just like the rest of you! The window is open and our chance is here. Let’s keep pushing on it. Let’s see what happens, let’s find the truth, we can’t go on like we have. It just won’t work — let’s bring in our future fearless and brave together as one. We can do it my friends, I know we can remember. I see it every day! Let’s take this opportunity — what I call a pause. If we reject this fear that engulfs us, we will find out that we now have the opportunity to reject hate, reject fear. And it’s time for us to govern ourselves too! Put this fear mongering in its place by going forward with love. Take the hate and destroy it! POWER TO THE PEOPLE! GROUNDCOVER NEWS 3 Enough is enough! DEZZ CLARK Groundcover vendor No. 643 When the world says enough is enough, when the world says stop killing me, when politicians are killing the people’s dreams, stop; when trash in the sea is killing the fish, stop; when trees are being burnt up, stop — when the wildlife stop reproducing wildlife, stop; when the people of this world keep killing each other in the name of who, God?
